Standard or Tree Privet. 



This is the well known California Privet 

 grown to Globe or Tree form by careful prun- 

 ing. These forms of Privet being so compact 

 that a bird cannot enter them, and being 

 densely clothed with smooth, glossy foliage — 

 more intense and richer in color than Tree 

 Box — are most effective and of the great- 

 est value in formal gardening. The Stand- 

 ards surpass in effectiveness and rich color 

 the popular Bay Tree and possess the untold 

 advantage of being perfectly hardy, requiring 

 no care or protection in winter. The demand 

 for these Specimen Privets has increased so 

 rapidly of late that I have grown them In 

 large numbers.
